james_wilko Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Got my game underway, 5 league games and 1 league cup game out the way so far. Sitting pretty at third with 10 points following 3 wins, a draw and a defeat. Lost to Spurs 2-1 (Carroll getting our goal) on the opening day at WHL, but followed that up with wins away to Stoke (1-0, Colo goal), LC against Charlton (3-1 Shola x2 & Yven Molo), West Ham (3-0 Donovan, Jonas and Hetemaj), a home win over WBA (2-1 Ben Arfa & R.Taylor) and drew 1-1 at home V Wigan (Carroll goal). Yes you have read that right, somehow I signed Landon Donovan for 7.5mil (over time obviously). Also brought in Antunes from Roma for 240K Bosco Jonkovic from Genoa, P/X for Xisco Perparim Hetemaj from Brescia P/X for Lovenkrands Outs were: Smith (free, convinced him to terminate) Nile Ranger (loan to Watford) And the two exchanged. Formation: ------------------Krul R. Taylor--- Colo---Williamson---Enrique -----------Tiote-------Barton Jonas-------Donovan-------Ben Arfa ---------------Carroll Working well so far, using a counter attacking philosophy to make the most of HBA & Jonas' pace, and Carroll's heading/hold up play.

col_nufc1 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 We are not going to win the FA cup this year after losing to Chelsea 1-0 in the 3rd round even though we were the better team throughout the game i think they scored with there only shot on target and to top if off we had two goals ruled out one for a foul and one for offside . Our chairman is not a happy bunny either stating the loss to Chelsea was unacceptable and a very poor result. You just can't please some people can you .

DandyDon Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Great, Atletico Madrid have been sniffing around Sotiris Ninis and he's instantly become unhappy saying he 'owes it to himself to consider playing for a bigger club' I'd be a little more sympathetic if it had been Real or Barca, but over the 2 seasons so far we've had better overall league record than Atletico have in Spain. looks like I better start looking for another right winger, almost impossible to get them back on side once they start moaning.

OutClassed Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 END OF SEASON UPDATE League: Ended up 6th, which wasn't good enough to take a European spot this year. Absolutely gutted about it if I'm honest. We had a quite strong defence, conceding the 4th lowest in the league. Start of season blips avoided and we could've been higher. Cups: Failed in both of them, losing to lower league opposition in the first or second round we were in them Goalscorers: Rodallega - 12 goals in 14 apps. Rivaldo - 10 goals in 20(13) apps. Carroll - 8 goals in 29(5) apps. Ninis - 6 goals in 28(6) apps. Ben Arfa - 5 goals in 31(8) apps. Assisters: Jonas - 8 assists in 26(8) apps. Ninis - 7 assists in 28(6) apps. Ben Arfa - 6 assists in 31(8) apps. Cairney, Carroll and Rivaldo - 4 assists From that you can see we were very lucky to get Rodallega. Hopefully having no scoring problems for the season will see us rise. Unfortunately we don't have the funds to retain Ninis and Ben Arfa so I'll have to wait til the new budget comes through. Ninis I'll go after and hope that some of the TListed players re still available. Future transfers: Seamus Coleman - Free Marco Donadel - Free Adama Toure - Free People on the TList who I'd like to bid for: Sanchez and Shawcross. Although Liverpool have put in a bid for Shawcross- but Roger Johnson may be available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanH91 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Right haven't played much over the last couple of days but I finished my third season with an almost perfect haul of trophies. A 3-1 victory over Arsenal in the League Cup was followed up with us retaining the Premier League with 5 games to spare, eventually ending up with an impressive tally of 91 points. Next up was the FA Cup final against Everton, where an Urby Emanuelson strike won it late on for us to take the Treble. The final, and arguably biggest, game of the season was against Catalan giants Barcelona in the Champions League Final. The Spanish champions certainly showed their superiority, controlling the game from the first whistle. We managed to ride our luck and keep it at 0-0, that was until a thunderbolt strike from Edinson Cavani stole the glory in the 84th minute for Barca This season has started brightly, beating Arsenal in the Community Shield, then Liverpool and Sunderland in the league. We also were held to a 0-0 draw at the Reebok. Transfers In Francisco Luiz - £1.6m (REGEN) Edin Dzeko - Free Kyle Walker - £2.5m Tony Huston - Free Ben Forster - £2.4m (REGEN) Total Spend - £6.5m Transfers Out Kevin Nolan - Free Bradden Inman - Free Kazenga LuaLua - £5m Danny Simpson - £5m Victor Moses - £12m Tim Krul - £3m Total Income - £25m Not too much movement this year, obviously Dzeko coming in should be a big boost to my front line. Simpson was getting restless being 2nd choice so newly "taken over by a tycoon" Fulham snapped him and Moses up for neat fees I decided last year would be make or break for both Moses and Ranger, and Ranger grabbed the bull by the horns and bagged 17 goals. Unfortunately Victor took a laid back attitude and scored a measly 4 goals in 20 odd appearances, so he moved on. LuaLua and Krul were simply not getting enough gametime, so thought I'd let them go where they'd reach their potential as I do like them irl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

col_nufc1 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Season 4 review. Newcastle win the Premier League for the third season in a row and by finishing a impressive 17 points ahead of second placed Liverpool. League Table. In the cups. Community Shield Tottenham Hotspurs 1-1 Newcastle United Balotelli (We win 6-5 on penalties). European Super cup Udinese 1-2 Newcastle United Balotelli, Ramsey. Champions League final Barcelona 1-3 Newcastle United Hulk 3. Carling cup final Tottenham Hotspurs 1-1 Newcastle United Paloschi (We win 3-2 on penalties). Club World cup final Sao Paulo 0-2 Newcastle United Paloschi, Balotelli. FA cup 3rd round Newcastle United 0-1 Chelsea. Champions League fixtures. The Squad. Future Transfers. I have already signed some young English players ahead of the new season with Jack Wilshere coming in for £7.5m, Phil Jones coming in for £11m and Jack Rodwell coming in for £18m. I have also put a bid in for Romelu Lukaku for £17.5m but he has to decide to come to Newcastle or AC Milan. The World Cup next. So now for the World cup with Belgium we have a very winnable group with Romania, Colombia and Ivory Coast. After the group stages it's in the hands of the gods on who we draw for the knockout stages thats if we qualify from the group I am getting to far ahead of myself.

weasel1976 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 OK, so I managed to complete the first season and almost completed the summer transfer session. In the first summer my transfers were: INs Fazio 625k€ Hazard Loan Assulin Free Naughton Loan Lansbury Loan OUTs Routledge 1M€ Ameobi 3,5M€ Lovenkrands / Nolan / Donaldson / Vuckic / Soderburg all on loan During Winter I also brought in: O´Hara 2,1M€ Campanharo 400k€ Liukkonen 200k€ (regen) I finished 7th after a topsy turvy season, 9 points of CL qualification. Spurs finished top, just above Arsenal and Man Utd. My team set up was a 4-5-1 GK: Krul / Harper RB: STaylor / RTaylor LB: Enrique / Naughton CB: Fazio + Colocini / Kadar + Williamson DM: Tiote / CM: Barton + Hazard / O´Hara + Guthrie RW: Ben Arfa / Asulin LW: Jonas ST: Caroll / Xisco Man of the season was Jonas, and ben Arfa was a bit disappionting, although during the season I got the board to buy him outright. Caroll was not so good, 10 in 18, and now is listed due to his issues with STaylor. Xisco managed 10 in 10, so plan on keeping him as back up. In the current transfer window I have brought in: Hazard 3,3M€ Kakuta 4,5M€ El Shaarawy 2,5M€ Coeff Free Castaignos Free Sanogo 13,5M€ Galeano 13M€ My outs include: R Taylor 2M€ Lovenkrands 1M€ Nolan / Best / El Shaarawy / Ranger / Soderberg / Tiote all out on loan This season I will aternate between a 4-5-1 and 4-2-3-1 GK: Krul / Forster RB: STaylor / Tavernier LB: Enrique / Ferguson CB: Coloccini / Williamson + Kadar / Galeano DM: Fazio / Campanharo CM: Barton / O´Hara + Vuckic / Guthrie RW: Ben Arfa / Kakuta LW: Jonas / Hazard ST: Castiagnos / Sanogo / Xisco Leaving Assulin as a floater. It is impossible to sell, as commented many times, but also to loan. I tried to get Ashlet to set up a club for me, but he refused. So, I need to find time to fit in the following: Coeff Moyo Inman Edmundson Airey Spear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Di11on Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Making the game look ridiculously easy as usual I see col! I'm doing terribly. No money, few transfers, 2nd bottom after 7 games played. We've won 1 and lost 6, scored 4 and conceded 14. 3 solitary points. We have played Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal but losing at home to Everton and Bolton is relegation form. I've yet to find a formation I'm happy with: I tried 442 narrow diamond with Tiote, Barton, Smith & Ben Arfa at point. Then 41311 with Guthrie added, 442 with Ben Arfa and Jonas on the wings. It's not happening at the moment. My only transfers have been to swap Ameobi for Rodallega (who has one goal in 7), and a recent purchase Marcin Wasilewski at right back. I'm playing Carroll and Rodallega up front mostly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the 4-4-2 with advanced wingers like this GK, DR ,DL ,DC, DC, MC, MC, AML, AMR, SC, SC it has given me more wins than any other formation on FM11. Also the match preparation seems to play a huge part in the game and i have it on full workload bar on team blend in the friendlies and on average workload during the normal season. Rodallega was amazing for me as a poacher he was my top scorer for two seasons in a row until i got the tycoon takeover and signed better players to replace him. As for Andy Carroll he hasn't done very well for me at all and the only reason i have kept him is beacuse he is homegrown and nobody wants him anyway when i offer him to clubs.

OutClassed Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yet to play a friendly but here are my transfers: IN: S. Coleman - RB - Free - Would have been second choice, btu I've spotted someone on a free. A. Toure - AMC - Free - No idea why I brought him in, will be gone in January. M. Donadel - DM/CM - Third choice and trying to send him out on loan to raise some funds. Y. Sanogo - ST - £4.8m - Starting striker with Rodallega. Good potential and hope they work well together. C. Zapata - CB - £5.25m - Will rotate with Coloccini for the season. Has some pace on him that should be useful. G. Matthewson - ST (REGEN) - £90k - From Huddersfield, not bad technicals. A. Sanchez - AMR/L - £6.75m - Him and Jonas should tear defences apart this season. TOTAL: £17m OUT: A. Yakubu - £3.3m Williamson - £1.8m Lovenkrands - £1.5m Goncalves - £2.8m Nolan - £2m (Still paying £30k wages) Perch - £1.6m LuaLua - £2.8m Simpson - £975k Harper - £250k Ameobi - £1m (Paying £5k in wages) Best - Ln fee £500k Smith - Ln fee £250k TOTAL: £18.75m Still got my eye on Bosingwa (FREE!) and Ninis (£5m) to boost the squad. Trying to loan out Donadel for a few million, and Xisco leaving for £1m ln fee. Squad: GK: Krul, Forster, Rose ® RB: Saylor, Coleman LB: Enrique, Kadar CB: Coloccini, Zapata CB: Fazio, Cosic CM: Tiote, Toure CM: Cairney, Guthrie, AMR: Sanchez, Rivaldo AML: Jonas, Routledge ST: Rodallega, Ranger, Vuckic ST: Sanogo, Carroll, Zohore Those in blue are British, and I'm looking to try and strengthen now with British names. First target is to try and bring in Delfouneso to rotate with Ranger for 2nd spot. I'd like to bring in a DM/CM British guy to be the steel of midfield next to Cairney. Ideally it'll be Rodwell or Huddlestone- and I've got a regen that can be better than Fazio to try and bring through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_wilko Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Finished my first season, ended up 8th and won the league cup so I've qualified for the EURO Cup. In pre season for the second now, signings in so far: Jose Bosingwa (Free) Van Bommel (Free) Jonathan Woodgate (Free) Clement Chantome (2.2 mil) Mark Gonzalez (loan, 200K upfront with view to buy for 3.4mil) Out: Campbell Matthew Grieve Greg McDermot Fabio Zamblera Samuel Adeji Ryan Donaldson Kazenga LuaLua Michael Richardson All on frees Wayne Routledge (loan to Derby) Shola Ameobi (1mil to Brum who were relegated) Haven't been able to keep Hatem Ben Arfa which is a bit depressing. Currently looking for someone to compete on the left with Gonzalez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
